Hot Shot

Hot Shot is a young, heroic fighter who rushes into danger without regard to his own safety. He courageously charges into the middle of the fight to aid his friends in battle. He has taken charge in several battles, showing great leadership potential. But he needs the guidance of his elders before he can hope to lead the AUTOBOTS. Will he learn to be a leader who strives for good, or will his reckless nature ruin his promising future?

Variations: The Japanese release of MC-03 Hot Rod differs from the US release of the toy. The Japanese version has a darker shade of yellow, additional/different paint applications, and retains a functional electronic light in the figure’s right hand. The variations in the Japanese version make it more accurate to the cartoon appearance.
